Tut Taylor Archive Reel #191 contains two classic live bluegrassperformances:  one from Jim & Jesse & the Virginia Boys from the fall of 1963 and the other from Jim Eanes & the Shenandoah Valley Boys 
circa 1957-1961.  While Tut may be a fan of these top-drawer bands, the thread that ties these two performances together is the unsung five-string banjo maestro, Allen Shelton, who left Jim Eanes in the early 1960s to join Jim & Jesse McReynolds.  Shelton is noted for his distinctive "bounce" which is heard to great effect in both these shows.  Another fine member of the Virginia Boys is fiddler Jim Buchanan (who went on to perform with David Grisman, among many others).  

Jim & Jesse are performing for a northern crowd in the fall, although the venue remains unknown.  

Jim Eanes played bluegrass with a touch of rockabilly, and he hosted the "Corn Crib Hoedown" on WHEE, Martinsville, VA.  In addition to Shelton on banjo, Eanes is joined by Roy Russell on bass and Arnold Terry on fiddle.  --Mitchell Wittenberg

	The tape is a 3.75 inch per second mono recording.  The acetate reel was played
on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and 
built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and components
including all metal film resistors, polypropelene coupling capacitors, and low ESR 
electrolytic supply bypass capacitors.  The resulting analog signal was digitized 
by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the 
recording software and saved as a 24 bit 48 kHz wave file.  

	Post processing and was done by David Avery with Nuendo using the 
following Waves Plugins: Q10, X-Hum, S1 Shuffler and L3.  The file was dithered
down to a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.
